bink, it's 1.39gb so download at your own risk. It's a 20 minute video showing off a Shuttle launch (not the most recent one) with some other stuff in there (haven't watched it all). Might be fun if you've got some bandwidth to spare.

just a point to make, the file name being Discovery this was STS-121, not the very recent shuttle launch

hence my comment, "(not the most recent one)" :)

it's probably worth pointing out that this video isn't about the most recent shuttle launch

I just downloaded this and it isn't the most recent shuttle launch could you put a warning in please?

ahh sweet the latest shuttle launch!

are you sure it's not http://mbm.livewiredev.com ?

subtle lunch

Is this the most recent subtle launch?

Wtf trog? This isn't the launch of the latest shuttle!

Is this an old launch or one of the more recent ones?...I hate it when trog post stuff thats not accurate!

:P

has anyone downloaded this yet to see if it is the latest launch?

download it losers

Can we have a GA link?

nah, I can't find the source site so no idea what license that movie is under

download it losers

So... I'm a loser because I did not download a 1.4gb file, and spent 20 minutes of my precious time watching a hunk of metal shoot into the sky?

*Confers with the magic hate ball*

All signs point to yes...

casa, no, you're a loser for other reasons BAM!

Slightly off topic but regarding the Columbia's final mission:

A multi-disciplinary microgravity and Earth science research mission. Shuttle destroyed during re-entry on February 1, 2003 and all seven astronauts on board perished. Hundreds of the nematode worms onboard for research survived.

Huh, nematodes survived re-entry?

you're a loser for other reasons BAM!

Well as long as we have that cleared up :)

check out todays apod for a phat photo of the atlantis launch. the photo is a bit grainy but phat.

aaaaaaaaaawesome

me and hardball had a subtle lunch the other day while i was whoopin' his arse at fight night. (thanks trog)
that was the latest subtle lunch i've had.

I know it's against the rules, but this is old! It's not the m,ost recent shuttle launch!

;)

Coming down way too slow. Anyone have a fast local link ?

this doesnt look like the most recent shuttle launch? :/

Ok I finally downloaded and watched this. Very cool stuff.

Also cool is this image:

Also cool is this image:

I'm not sure if you're trolling or if you didn't actually look very hard:

This begging for a photoshop with E.T. and the ISS...

EDIT :: I don't believe it that little black spot to the left of ISS is ET!

I was trolling, but now I just dont get it

That's kinda zoom magnification i'm talking about!

no it's not

I was trolling, but now I just dont get it

It's the Interational Space Station and the Space Shuttle silhouetted against the sun

Wait, so is this the old thread about the new shuttle launch, the old thread about the old shuttle launch, a new thread about the new shuttle launch or a new thread about the old shuttle launch?

it's a thread, about a shuttle launch. time is a concept, launch-time doubly so.

[edit] Shuttle landing delay due to killer space jellyfish! :D

Those dudes are flying way too close to the sun - hope they're wearing their 5000 SP sunblock.

Also, the sun doesn't look as yellow when it's in black and white.
